More experimental

Doing these two pieces I am really starting to focus on what I want for my final piece, I believe I want a mixed media piece and I want to include my style, my idea is a A4 portrait with different elements of the face around the edge to give detail and show different mark makings I can show throughout. For these two I am planning on the type of style I want to use on my main focus portrait for my final piece, below are the pictures of my results:

I do believe I am really focusing on this biro but that is what I think works best for me and really shows my style, I love how the detail comes across and works again the texture backgrounds, for the first piece I used paint as an underlay and then layered colours throughout on the top, I liked this and it was more interesting to work over. I am really considering my final piece now and heading towards working on my design on how to lay it out. I would like to change the layout for my final piece and add more elements.
